Intermission — April 23 — Bigfoot Problems

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Brad Guigar

There are some Bigfoot problems that hit harder than others — and for certain legendary figures, male pattern baldness anxiety isn’t just about looks… it’s about legacy. Today’s comic imagines what happens when one very famous cryptid starts wondering if his myth might not survive a receding hairline.

What I’m Watching: Invincible, JJK, and the Great Animation Trade-Off

I’ve been watching Invincible with my sons, and I’ve got… thoughts.

First off: the story? Very, very good. Genuinely compelling stuff — even though the violence and gore is way past my personal comfort range. I'm not super comfortable with one character shooting another. The stuff that happens on a median-level episode of Invincible is a real challenge for me.

As someone who does NSFW comics, I'm constantly amazed at how perfectly acceptable Invincible is... yet an animated series based on Phil Foglio's XXXenophile would have people losing their ever-loving minds.

Further, it's a little disappointing to go from watching Jujutsu Kaisen (which we're also following at the moment) to watching Invincible.

JJK features jaw-dropping visuals and animation that constantly raises the bar episode after episode. It's phenomenal.

On the other side of the spectrum, Invincible clearly put all of its budget into getting celebrity voice talent. Some of them are very good.

I just wish a few of those Amazon dollars had been spent on the animation. Some of the scenes are pretty clearly PNGs that get enlarged to show an object moving through space, and it's a goddamned embarrassment.

But the story itself is very, very good.

Lightning Lady Book

The Best of Lightning Lady

Check out the April edition of Previews magazine and you’ll see the latest offering from Greystone Inn Comics: The Best of Lightning Lady!

This book is the genesis of the Evil Inc comic strip. Consider it “pre-history.”

In case you’re unfamiliar with the tome…

Selected comics from the daily comic strip, “Greystone Inn,” redesigned and reformatted into a continuous graphic novel. “Lightning Lady” tells the story of a recovering super-villain who goes to Evil Anonymous meetings (because “You don’t stop being evil, you just stop aiming death rays at people”). The story heats up when she meets her new boyfriend at San Diego Comic Con — a man who is anything but what he appears to be.

And, thanks to my good friend over at Diamond Distribution, the Lightning Lady book is Certified Cool.

Here’s the thing. Getting into Previews is one thing, but now I need retailers to know what it is and where it is. Most importantly, though, they need to know that there’s a demand for it. You guys stepped up strong last time, and I’m asking for the same thing this time.

Attention henchmen, lackeys, goons, and thugs: Standby for post-hypnotic suggestion. Why don’t you pass the time with a game of solitaire?

You will go to your comic shop or bookstore.
You will ask for Lightning Lady by name.
You will point it out on Page 305 in April Previews.
You will request it.
Clamor for it.
Beg for it.
You will not feel complete until you see it shining on the shelf of your local comic shop.

Thank you. You’re the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
